Comandantul (2023)

Comandante

Într-o noapte întunecată din primele etape ale Celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, submarinul Cappellini al Marinei Regale Italiene scufundă o navă comercială înarmată care naviga cu luminile stinse. În acel moment, comandantul său, Salvatore Todaro, ia o decizie destinată să rămână în istorie: să-i salveze pe cei 26 de belgieni naufragiați care altfel s-ar fi înecat în mijlocul Oceanului Atlantic și să-i debarce în cel mai apropiat port sigur. Pentru a le face loc la bordul submarinului, el este nevoit să navigheze la suprafața apei timp de trei zile, fiind vizibil pentru forțele inamice și punându-și în pericol atât propria viață, cât și pe cea a oamenilor săi.

Curiozități

Comandante is a 2023 Italian war drama film co-written and directed by Edoardo De Angelis and starring Pierfrancesco Favino. The film tells an episode of the Battle of the Atlantic, when the Italian submarine Comandante Cappellini sank the Belgian ship Kabalo, and Cappellini's commander Salvatore Todaro (Favino) decided to disobey orders and to rescue the Kabalo's crew, being forced to navigate on the surface for three days, making the ship an easy target for enemies. The film opened the 80th Venice Film Festival on 30 August 2023.

Production

Director Edoardo De Angelis became interested in the story following a speech delivered in 2018 by Admiral Giovanni Pettorino during the 153rd anniversary of the Italian Coast Guard, in which Pettorino referenced Todaro as an example in contrast to the policies of the Conte I Government towards NGOs and the European migrant crisis. The film had a budget of €14.5 million.

Production designer Carmine Guarino faced challenges in creating a full-scale replica of the submarine featured in the film due to the lack of schematics and interior photographs of Italian submarines from that era. After creating a 3D model, Guarino collaborated with mechanical engineer Nicola Ferrari, who designed a "strut system" to make the submarine float in the Ferrati Naval Basin of the Taranto Naval Arsenal and then allowed it to navigate…

The interiors were reconstructed at Cinecittà World, using the replica of a U-Boat built for the film U-571 (2000) as a base. Meanwhile, the submarine's hull was built directly in Taranto over eight months.

In total, the Cappellini replica weighed over 70 tons and measured 73 meters in length. Its construction involved over 100 engineers, builders, and artisans, with support from the Italian Navy’s historical office, the staff of the Historical Exhibition of the Arsenal, and Fincantieri.

Filming began on 5 September 2022 in Taranto, at the Naval Arsenal of the Italian Navy, and continued there for eight weeks on the waters of the Mar Piccolo. Four days of underwater filming were then conducted in Belgium.
